Today must be media release day as it seems they had a number of 1 person NDA bound press reveals over the course of the pas week. http://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion has an account of one such meeting.

Waiting on all the early hackintosh adopters to work all the kinks out before I update mine, would like to update my 2010 MBP (work provided) as well but my employer would likely take issue with that lol.

Very slick so far. I tried a few reboots and times were between 16 and 18 seconds. That was with restoring mail, Safari, and word with a 80K document open. Safari is on steroids? Speed? Wow. I'm airplaying my MB Air on the 60" TV as I type this.

I just did a side-by-side comparison with Chrome, and while Safari is much faster than prior to Mountain Lion, it didn't load pages any faster for me than Chrome. I think that once iOS 6 is released, it may give Chrome competition then.

I've always wondered why they don't do this and then it dawned on me that it's anti-Apple. They just want a clean, silver bar with letters on it and not a circus of colors from diff favicons. I like how the icons look too, but I figure it's never going to change on Safari.

It just dawned on me how inconsistent their approach is on this. The entire premise of the iOS interface is to have a circus of colors bunch of app icons you can easily identify at a glance, a premise they even brought to OS X by way of Launchpad.

How is it so hard for them to realize that the same color/shape instant identification is what raccoons are all about?!
